Vencasa celebrates World Sleep Day this 16th March 2018 as it brings awareness to the importance and pleasure of quality sleep. Sleep is our most basic need, crucial to our overall health and well-being. Lack of sleep can lead to numerous long and short-term health problems including heart disease, strokes and diabetes. In general, it leads to poor alertness, reduced concentration, low memory recall, and poor academic productivity.

‘Join the Sleep World, Preserve Your Rhythms to Enjoy Life,’ intends to emphasise the importance of circadian rhythms in healthy sleep, and inspired by the recent Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine assigned to three researchers who have dedicated their studies to circadian rhythms.

Circadian rhythms refer to cyclic events within the body such as rhythms in hormones, body temperature and alertness levels. Biological clocks from within the body produce circadian rhythms, but environmental factors such as sunlight also affect them. Preserving regular circadian rhythms have been found to lower the risk of sleep disorders, mental health disorders and chronic health issues such as obesity and diabetes.

• Sound sleep is one of the three pillars of good health along with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
• There are close to 100 disorders of sleep, but most are modifiable and manageable with the help of sleep specialists.
• Individuals who get an entire night’s sleep without any interruptions experience lower rates of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and other chronic illnesses.

Arianna Huffington, formerly of The Huffington Post and author of The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time states, “Sleep is the underpinning of our entire well-being. For centuries people thought that sleep was a time of inactivity, that the brain was resting. But all the new science proves that the opposite is true — that during sleep the brain is in a state of intense activity, which is necessary for us to fully recharge and be productive, creative and truly connect with ourselves and others during the day.”

General Facts on World Sleep Day

• World Sleep Day is an annual event to raise awareness of sleep disorders and the burden that they place on society. World Sleep Day 2018 will be held on Friday, March 16, 2018.
• Most sleep disorders are preventable or treatable, yet less than one-third of sufferers seek professional help.
• Sleep problems constitute a global epidemic that threatens health and quality of life for up to 45% of the world’s population.
• Better understanding of sleep conditions and more research into the area will help reduce the burden of sleep disorders on society.
• Three elements of good quality sleep are:
  • Duration: The length of sleep should be sufficient for the sleeper to be rested and alert the following day.
  • Continuity: Sleep periods should be seamless without fragmentation.
  • Depth: Sleep should be deep enough to be restorative.

Vencasa, the new innovative bedroom solution range in South Africa, hand-picks, designs and develops their products for the ultimate sleep. After all, sleep is an all-day affair as much as it is a night one too.

The exclusive Vencasa Signature Collections celebrate sleep as an art and a science.  

Because so much is happening in your head all day, it’s imperative to find a rejuvenating, supportive pillow to sink it into once the day is done. Sleeping on the wrong pillow is often the cause of neck and back pain. The right pillow for you, is a very personal choice, based on your build, sleep position, mattress and preferences.  

Vencasa Micro Gel Pillows are a brilliant choice as they are versatile enough to provide superior comfort and performance. They are made from synthetic fibres that are similar to silk, making the pillow feel just as luxurious as a feather pillow. The fibre is much thinner than normal fibres, making the pillow soft, supple, and lightweight.  

Enjoy that luxurious down-like experience with the Vencasa Micro Gel Pillows which constantly adapt to the movements and shape of your head and neck, throughout the night. A Vencasa Micro Gel Pillow is ideal as an all-purpose pillow that is soothing and comfortable without the allergic effect of feather pillows as they are made from 100% Micro Gel Hypoallergenic fibre, with a cotton cover. The hypoallergenic fibre prevents an accumulation of dust mites, while the cotton cover helps to provide an allergen-free sleeping environment.  

One of the greatest features of the Vencasa Micro Gel pillows is the thermal performance, which means adapting to the user’s body temperature, ensuring a restful sleep throughout the night. Plus, they are machine washable on a delicate cold cycle, or easily cleaned with a damp sponge and dried in the sun, should spills occur.  

These dreamy pillows retain their shape, ensuring supportive comfort for your sleepy head for years to come.
